Problem this evening with the drivers side window on our 05, 1.6 petrol Mini One. Noticed the window had not closed up after closing the door. When I tried to lower or raise the window, there was a sad old whirring noise from the motor, glass did not move and then nothing at all from the motor, but could hear a clicking (relay ?). Anyways I was able to pull the glass fully up by hand and close the door, although the glass slips back down pretty easily. Assuming the motor is done for, but figured it might be worth asking in case there is some easy fix. Happy to bring her up to you in Ballincolling Ger, if you could have a look either

If there is a grinding noise in there its the window regulator cables broken and or guide wheels seized , I am afraid it will be a new window regulator to sort it out . ( we did 3 of them last week ) not a major job on the R50 normally around an hour . G
